Box Score  ORLANDO, Fl- After enduring two rains delays, Hampden-Sydney College (2-3) staged a comeback to grab the 5-3 win over John Carroll (OH) Wednesday.  It was a victory that Head Coach Byron Balkin was extremely proud of as his young team was able to overcome the day's adversity.  "This match had it all. Two rain delays, down 1-2 after doubles, and finishing the match on two courts to clinch with all six singles matches still to be finished", said Coach Balkin  "Our guys were together the entire time, working through each situation until the finish. Really proud of our team today".
